In increasingly competitive, 'knowledge worker' environments,
people working at all levels prize their freedom and resist
direction. The challenging job of leading them can often feel like
the business of 'herding cats'. Herding Professional Cats offers
advice and insights to leaders in the professions about tackling
the classic 'cats' dilemma - how to manage intelligent,
opinionated, independent and frequently difficult people without
losing the competitive edge a professionalised workforce can bring.
Herding Professional Cats is a new edition of the authors' 2010
bestselling book Herding Cats. It draws on their own top-level
leadership experience and contains the information current leaders
might wish they had known when they set out on their leadership
careers. Davies and Garrett combine wisdom from senior academic and
research colleagues around the world with new insights from
experienced and perceptive leaders in a variety of professions,
from lawyers, accountants and architects to consultants, doctors,
journalists, public servants and even politicians. Herding
Professional Cats covers key management and leadership themes,
including: Governance and ethics Motivating performance Work-life
balance Making tough strategic choices Social Media Leading change
effectively Communication excellence. * "This is a gem of a
publication." Geoffrey Green, formerly Senior Partner, Ashurst LLP,
London * "This is one of the best business books I have read! The
way you have structured the book really resonates with me. It was a
joy to read, and offers some great insights." Satu Aavikko, Team
Leader, Accenture Ltd, Sydney * "Herding Professional Cats is a
'must read' book. I will describe my impression in one word.
Brilliant!" Dr Ramesh Mashelkar FRS, President, Global Research
Alliance & Board Member; Reliance Industries Ltd; Tata Motors
